Senior All-American basketball players, Rosie Carl- ton and Angela Dunn, schedule work at U.S.A. Sports around basketball practice and study. iiiiiii:iiiiiiiiii May I help you? A common question for both senior Mark K. Gaines of Sharron's l uggage and junior Will Crowley employed at Be Ik’s. Junior Camille Dabney makes sure the shoe fits while working at George's Bootery in Columbia Mall. an assistant manager or something like that, Dabney said. Junior Will Crowley worked at Belk in customer service. Crowley said that hold- ing a job as a teenager helped his apprecia- tion of the real world. By having a job. I'm learning how to budget my money and how to set spending priorities, and I’ve got extra bucks to save. I work for the enjoyment of it. I work 15- 20 hours a week and don’t give up a lot. The advantages of working definitely over- rule the sacrifices. I really like it, and I think it’s a stepping stone on my way to becoming a pediatrician. It’s a start, Crowley said. As an employee for Chess King in the mall, senior Mark Cooper worked 20 hours a week and found his job by model- ing for the store. My job gives me the experience for my future. I love to work. I spend a lot of my money on clothes. They are very important to me. It also goes toward entertainment, Cooper said. Junior Stephanie Canders worked at Tiffany's Bakery in the mall. She said the 12-13 hours a week job gave her little time to do everything she would like to, but she wanted to work there as long as she could. Junior Stephanie Cone started working through her family. She started her com- pany, The Three C’s, when she was 11 with her older brother and sister. The company rented mobile homes. My parents thought it would be educa- tional for us. My job is bookkeeping. It’s an opportunity most people don't have at my age. The money we get back goes into the business so we can invest in more trai- lors. We now have 10 mobile homes. In the future I would like to open my own com- pany. I would never change it, Cone said. The marketing program at Wilson was the way junior Tricia Eller got her job as a cashier at Moore’s Hardware. Eller said even though it affected school work and friends, she loved her job. The people arc so fun. I work for the money to spend on clothes, my boyfriend and junk. I even opened up a savings ac- count to have extra money to spend at the end of the month. I average around 14 hours a week. I would like to spend more time with my friends, but I never have time. My boyfriend and I see each other on weekends mostly. It's worth the sacri- fice when I sec my paycheck, but then again, it’s not when it comes to my social life, Eller said. work 21

Prep to punk “What will I wear today?” was repeat- edly asked as students decided whether they would be preppy, punk, dressy or ca- sual and styles were determined by peers, parents, cost, dress code and personal opinions. The preppy look was one of the trends, with classic Polos, Khakis, penny loafers or anything that adhered to the traditional look. Junior Krcgg Barentine chose the new wave look because “Pm a non-conformist. I don’t dress like other people want me to.” A common new wave outfit was bright shirts with parachute pants and a pair of punk glasses, with a hair style to bring out the look. Some students dressed up occasionally, while others such as junior Jennifer Dar- gan, dressed up more frequently. “I like dressing up because I read some- where once where studies show that when a student dresses up to come to school he or she tends to do better on classwork and tests,” Dargan said. Dargan also said that coming to school looking and feeling nice was reason enough to dress up. Students seemed to agree because girls wore skirts and tai- lored shirts and guys wore coats and ties. Students who wanted to generate the relaxed or comfortable look wore jeans and t-shirts or sweatshirts. Junior Ned Appenzeller dresses casual- ly because he feels it is more comfortable and easier to deal with at school. All the styles were limited in some way. Cost was a major factor because students could not always buy what was in style or what they liked. Freshman Delores Derham said she spent an average of $60 on each one of her outfits. Parents also determined what students could or could not wear to school. Al- though students could usually decide how they dressed. Mom and Dad always had the last say. “My mom restricted my style of dress- ing. I cannot wear my real dressy clothes to school because she’s afraid that I might ruin them,” junior Denise Perreault said. The dress code was the bottom line on how a student could dress. Students had a sense of new freedom because walking shorts could be worn if they touched the knee. “I wish I could dress the way I want without the hassle of a dress code,” sopho- more Christy Cummings said. Also, the 13 year tradition of cheer- leaders wearing their uniforms to school was discontinued because the uniforms were too far about the knees. fashion 23 Football games arc a good place to sec the new fashions.
